About this service
What water mitigation covers in a Hill Country home
A burst supply line doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Keystone Response & Restoration runs water mitigation for homes and businesses across the Kingsland area, from lakefront cabins on Lake LBJ to ranch houses set back off RR 1431.
Hill Country building sites sit on thin soil over limestone, so water that isn't caught fast finds the nearest low point — a slab seam, a cabinet toe-kick, a subfloor. Our crews pull standing water with truck-mounted extraction, then map hidden moisture in framing, drywall, and flooring with penetrating and non-penetrating meters before a single fan gets set.
Joe McCrary spent years running operations for a large DFW restoration company before starting Keystone with business partner Zane Lewis II. Joe holds Texas mold remediation, asbestos, water mitigation, and fire restoration licenses, and that same documentation discipline carries into every drying log we hand an adjuster.

Happening right now?
We answer 24 hours a day, every day of the year
Standing water wicks from a slab seam into framing, subfloor and cabinetry overnight — six more hours is often the difference between drying a floor and replacing it. If it is happening right now, call before you tear anything out — the make-safe advice on that call is free either way.

Why Keystone Response & Restoration
Built to get water mitigation done right the first time
Response built for the distance
Kingsland is spread out — lake homes, county roads, gated communities. We stage for a fast rollout across the whole service area, not just a single zip code.
Moisture mapping, not guesswork
We document wet readings room by room at intake and dry-out, giving you (and your insurer) a clear record instead of a vague "it's dry now."
Licensed, not just insured
Joe's Texas water mitigation license backs the work — this isn't a handyman side job, it's a regulated scope done to protocol.
One crew, start to finish
The same team that extracts and dries can hand off directly into reconstruction, so you're not re-explaining the job to a second company.
Available around the clock
Water damage doesn't check the clock, and standing water gets more expensive by the hour — we take emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Don't wait it out
Signs you need water mitigation
- Standing water or a wet subfloor after a supply line, water heater, or appliance failure
- Warped, cupped, or soft flooring — especially near exterior walls or bathrooms
- A musty smell that shows up a day or two after any leak or heavy rain
- Discolored or bubbling drywall, baseboards, or ceiling patches
- A water bill that jumped with no obvious explanation
- Water intrusion after a heavy Hill Country storm, especially in a lower level or garage
How it works
Our water mitigation process
- 01
Emergency call & assessment
We walk the property to trace the source, confirm the water category, and scope which materials and areas are affected.
- 02
Water extraction
Truck-mounted and portable extraction pulls standing and trapped water fast, before it wicks further into framing and flooring.
- 03
Moisture mapping
Meters and, where needed, thermal imaging locate hidden moisture in walls, cabinetry, and subfloor so nothing gets missed or over-demoed.
- 04
Controlled demolition
Only materials that can't be dried in place — soaked insulation, delaminated subfloor, ruined baseboard — come out.
- 05
Structural drying & verification
Air movers and dehumidifiers run to a monitored drying goal; we log daily readings until the structure tests dry, then document the finish.
Cost & what drives it
What water mitigation costs
Water category & class
Clean supply-line water dries differently than water that's been sitting or came from a backed-up drain — the category and how far it traveled through the structure both drive the scope.
Affected square footage & materials
Tile, engineered hardwood, carpet, and cabinetry each respond differently to moisture, and the square footage that needs extraction and drying sets the equipment count.
Access & structure type
A crawlspace, built-in cabinetry, or multiple flooring transitions take longer to dry and monitor than an open, single-material room.
Timing of the call
The sooner extraction starts after the water event, the less material has to be removed instead of dried in place — after-hours emergency calls are priced accordingly.
Every job gets a written scope and quote after we've assessed the water category and affected materials in person — we don't price water damage sight unseen. Costs can range widely depending on how much material is salvageable versus removed, so ask us for a walkthrough before assuming the worst.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions property owners ask us most on this kind of job, answered the way we'd answer them standing in your driveway.
Answered 24 hours
Ask us before you tear anything out. There's no charge for the conversation, and it's the same crew on the phone that shows up at the door.
(325) 248-7003It depends on the water category, how much square footage is affected, and how many materials need to be removed versus dried in place. We inspect first and provide a written quote before any work starts — there's no standard flat rate because no two water events are the same.
We take calls 24 hours a day and dispatch as soon as we hang up. Kingsland and the surrounding Highland Lakes communities are our home base, so we're not driving in from Austin or San Antonio.
Most policies cover sudden water damage like a burst pipe or appliance failure, though coverage details vary by carrier and by cause. We document moisture readings and photos throughout the job so you have the records an adjuster needs.
Mitigation is the emergency phase — extraction, drying, and stopping the damage from spreading. Restoration is what comes after, rebuilding drywall, flooring, or cabinetry that had to be removed. We handle both so there's one point of contact.
Usually not. Most drying setups run in the affected rooms while the rest of the home stays livable. We'll tell you upfront if a specific situation — like extensive contamination or a compromised HVAC return — makes temporary relocation the safer call.
It can. A failed well pressure tank or a septic backup is a different water category than a clean supply line, which changes what gets dried versus removed. Tell us the source when you call so we bring the right equipment the first time.
Most standard residential dry-outs run three to five days, monitored daily with a moisture meter until materials hit a dry standard. Larger areas, dense materials like hardwood, or a delayed start can extend that timeline.
We stop, document it, and loop in mold remediation before closing anything back up. Joe holds a Texas mold remediation license, so we can address it directly instead of sending you to find a second contractor mid-job.
